A dispute over tenancy-deposit paperwork has reached the UK Supreme Court. Its official case page marked Lowe’s appeal as a hearing in progress on 3 November. No Supreme Court merits decision is reported here.

The court’s summary describes a certificate referring to an unattached tenancy agreement and an incorrectly numbered clause. It also records an unsigned certificate sent with a signed covering letter. The appeal asks whether those steps satisfied the information and confirmation requirements in the 2007 prescribed-information order.

According to that summary, the tenant’s claim failed in the County Court and his appeals failed in the High Court and Court of Appeal. The Supreme Court granted permission in December 2025. Those earlier outcomes are procedural background to the present appeal.

Official case-page preview only. The hearing is listed for 3 November 2026; written arguments and lower judgments have not been reviewed. This report does not determine any statutory penalty or Jamaican deposit obligation.
